Place the skillet back over the flame for just 30 seconds. DO NOT allow the sauce to boil. Remove from the heat, add the chicken back into the pan and drizzle the sauce over the chicken.
7. Place the skillet back in the oven for 5-8 minutes. or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Top with chopped parsley or basil and serve with warm additional lemon slices.
